Peace Of Mind And Emergency Funds. Really???
Read? Peace Of Mind and Emergency Funds
Peace of mind?
Chun bo?
Emergency fund may help us to avoid selling investment assets during market low at realized losses and locked in permanent losses to fund our living expenses.
When we kept seeing our investment portfolio going down in value -10%, -20%, -30%, -40%, -50% and more. How many retail investors still have peace of mind?
Some of sleepless nights; we could be blaming ourselves for being stupid for not getting out of the market earlier to level up our war chest to buy them cheaper and more.
How to have peace of mind when market crashes into prolong bear market?
You guess or really know?

I guess its up to how strong someone is emotional and whether they stick to their investment strategy.
ReplyDeleteToo early for me to say, still havent experienced it yet.
It is not until we feel the depression of losing large amount from years of saving in the market or witness those people close to us chopped their fingers and never touch the market again.
DeleteHi Uncle CW,
ReplyDeleteI’m honoured to have a ‘featured post’ haha
To begin with, I would say that investment is not for the faint hearted people. For people with a weak heart, let’s forget about the -50% from bear market..
People with weak hearts that is still in the market are those that transfer their hard earned savings to the strong hearted and courgeous ones.
Like what we say in chinese, One type of rice, many types of people.
Those that believes in ILPs, those that believes in gold, those that swear to chop their fingers, those that shout around with their massive impressive returns during bull peak, those that are 100% in cash, those that call anyone who touches the market as gamblers.. And the list goes on.
I’ve yet to see a prolonged big bear in real. But what provides me with a ‘peace of mind’ is the ability to fill my own tummy even when worser things happen in life.
It may be over simplified. I don’t know.
Hence, never buy into what a kiddo says :)
